Italian Anglicans must prove that they’re worshippers Holy Ghost, Genoa
The Church of the Holy Ghost, the Anglican church in Genoa
CONGREGANTS in Italy will have to produce evidence that they are bona-fide worshippers to be allowed to travel to church at Christmas and Epiphany. Under the country’s Red Zone restrictions, roughly equivalent to Tier 4, they face fines if found to be travelling for other reasons.
In theory, no one can move outside their own local-authority area, even to worship. But, under an agreement brokered with the Ministry of the Interior, members of the smaller faith communities, which includes Anglicans, can travel to the nearest place of worship in their own tradition. Clergy are recommending that people also carry an official letter from their church confirming their membership.
